Last Friday, Me and Adam set off on our weekend to Paris - the one I had won last year with Travel Supermarket and Expedia. Leaving Millie with my Mum and Dad for the weekend, we knew she was going to have the best time and so we were enjoying some much needed time to ourselves. We stayed in a gorgeous 5* hotel, 10 minutes walk from the Arc de Triomphe and Champs-Elyseé shopping street and it was so accessible to the metro too!

The first day, we arrived around 4pm and decided to head down to the Eiffel Tower, probably the most famous of all the landmarks in Paris, wouldn’t you agree? And we took the River Cruise down the Seine to get a rough idea of where everything was...

On Saturday, we headed 45 minutes out of the city to Disneyland - super easy to get to and the metro was also free the whole weekend due to Pollution! It was an amazing day, cold but still incredible and it’s safe to say that we’ll definitely be going back with Millie!

Sunday, we were tired and achy from walking round Disney all day the day before but still had plans to get some sight seeing done, so we headed out to Champs-Elyseé and did a spot of shopping. With plenty of choice, there is definitely something for everyone and of course, I was sucked into Sephora the moment I saw it. We also went and had some cake at Laudree and got our hands on some Macaroons too! Later that night, we walked around the city and went to the Notre Dame which is simply beautiful, especially at night.

Monday, we were completely shattered, our feet were hurting, our legs were aching and my shoulders were absolutely killing me, so we decided to take it easy. We went to see Le Louvre in the morning and walked over to the Eiffel Tower again too as it was such a beautiful day. We then made tracks to a restaurant I had seen recommended by Laura over at Heroine in Heels but unfortunately, it was closed. We made do with a simple burger from a little French cafe, which was fine - if you like raw burgers... More on that in another post.

An incredibly busy weekend but it was something we both needed. You sometimes forget that you’re a couple when you have a child, constantly caring for them instead of each other but spending this quality time together was something we treasured and have some great memories from too. If you’re looking for a sight seeing, city break, Paris is definitely for you. I’ll be sharing some of my tips for exploring the city too, so keep an eye out for that!
